WE WILL NEVER FORGET THAT GOD GIFTED MOMENT OF TRIUMPH... BE WITH ME,WITH US TO DEFEND WHAT WE ACHIEVED AND DONT LET IT SLIP AWAY... DANNY BOY A bigger-hearted person would give Mar Roxas credit for: (1) not giving up in the face of ruined roads from a hellish storm, and (2) demonstrating the Aquino Administration’s accountability to getting storm preparation and recovery done right. To me, Mar Roxas is like the soldier whose helmet got shot off but he advances anyway. Any way at all. Kudos to Mar Roxas. He solved the problem. He persevered. He displayed courage and commitment. Boos to those who would ridicule his huge effort over a petty matter of attire. Mar Roxas had more concern about storm victims than his own well-being, and for this we will ridicule him? Hey, that was a nasty storm and people were in trouble. Mar Roxas understood. Mar Roxas and weaknesses in Filipino character Posted by Joe America on December 11, 2014 · 48 Comments mar-roxasLet’s get ready to RUMBLE! The recent incident of Mar Roxas being captured in a photograph slipping on a motorcycle while not wearing a helmet is to me representative of bad character. Not for Mar Roxas. But for his critics. Ridicule is a common feature of Philippine character. It is an element of “amoral interdependence”, or the crablike way Filipinos deride others to raise themselves up. It starts in elementary school, which you can witness when you see kids laughing at their schoolmates who hurt themselves or otherwise mess up. It is compassionless. This use of ridicule is widespread these days, not just in the Philippines, but in social media everywhere. It is not healthy. It is a disease. It is the opposite of compassion, a worthy human character trait. You don’t find much compassion in a hyena, either, I suppose. Or a crocodile. I would venture that those who ridicule Mar Roxas: Were not in the storm, and have no idea what it was like to deal with that beast. Do not have the same sense of accountability that Mar Roxas exemplified in using any means possible to get to the heart of need. So they miss the context entirely, and have a weak ability to discern anything that does not involve them. They are political opponents or crabs, and don’t mind stepping on others to raise themselves up.

Hey, that was a nasty storm and people were in trouble. Mar Roxas understood. Along with a well-developed penchant for ridicule, poor discernment is another weak character trait among way too many Filipinos. That’s why we have boxers and thieves as legislators. It’s why Senator Santiago runs high in the ratings for presidential candidates AMONG THE WELL EDUCATED. Because emotional stability, physical health, and managerial skill have no bearing on job qualifications even among supposedly enlightened Filipino voters. Rather, they like the “style”, the quip, the joke, the overblown sense of rectitude arising every time Senator Santiago takes a cut at someone else. You know. Every time she ridicules them.
